This is my 92 GL and her name is Ms. Virginia, this was the name that she had when I bought her last year
and this is the 89 L that I had and sold back in 2012 missed that car Blue
i never thought to name them but here is what my BLONDE GF thought to call it: A GODDARD. why? years ago i bought a used red GL automatic from a Ford dealer out of state while i was working there out of town and drove it home that weekend to give to her as a surprise and for her to have something to get around while i was at work. she was very happy and looked it over inside and out. while we were standing behind it she thought to ask, What Kind Is It? before i could say Ford Festiva she must've spied the dealers sticker pasted on the hatch and said, "Oh, it's a GODDARD" the dealer i had bought it from was called Goddard Ford.
My 90L is called Fiona named her that the day I bought her last year off of a used dealers lot none the less. I talked em down to 500.00 from the 990.00 asking price. So far all I have done to her is replaced the muffler and put bigger tires and wheels on her. A Rio brake swap is in the works when I get time to take her off the road for a bit. If i ever get my pickup back on the road from a minor accident last month.
Mine also has a few names, though it depends on who you ask. My car is very loud...and rusty; keep this in mind.
My grandma calls it "The Blue Bomb"
My wife and I have several names for it: "Rustiva", "Crustiva", "Bombstiva", "Little Blue" (my Grandpa has a '12 blue F-150 he calls "Big Blue", you get the picture) or "The Little Engine That Could"
If you ask a few of my sister-in-laws, its name is "Blueberry"
